Joe Biden was the poorest member of the Senate who traveled most often by Amtrak, something he never grew tired of reminding everyone. But Biden is moving up in the world thanks to Barack Obama. For his Thanksgiving vacation, Biden went to Nantucket where Obama took some time off earlier this year. The everyday working man touched down at Nantucket Memorial Airport last Wednesday in Air Force Two and was whisked off by an 11-car motorcade. The vacation was courtesy of another old Obama friend, Louis Susman, who owns the seaside estate where Biden stayed for the holiday. Susman is so wealthy, he helped rake in $247 million for the Democrats in 2004, earning him the nickname the "Vacuum Cleaner" and the eternal friendship of Barack Obama. Obama appointed Susman ambassador to the United Kingdom.
Obama begins his "jobs tour" today to meet with unemployed Americans, who likely can't afford to vacation on exclusive estates in Nantucket.
